1.09 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet sun captured within this pear shaped yellow sapphire, a transparent whisper of light weighing 1.09 carat and measuring 8.16 by 4.80 by 3.69 mm, each dimension a small proclamation of elegance. Cut in a mixed brilliant manner, the facets are arranged to coax flashes of pale lemon and warm honey from its heart, and an excellent polish allows each ray to slip out with a clean, shimmering breath. Evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distance, the stone carries the serene clarity of a long, clear sky, while a very light color intensity lends it an ethereal, wearable brilliance that seems to glow from within. Heat treated to reveal its truest character, this gem is born of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and bears the gentle provenance of an island where sapphires are born in warm earth and whispered into the world by patient hands. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this gem as both a jewel and a story, a small sun that waits to be set into metal and memory.

Imagine this pale yellow heart against skin of every tone, the way light changes when you tilt a glass to the sun. On fair skin it reads as a soft, vintage light that warms the complexion, the stone offering a delicate contrast that brightens cheeks and brings a subtle golden halo to the face. For those with cool undertones the sapphire can be set in platinum or white gold, each icy metal sharpening the stone into a crisp, modern accent that dances between lemon and champagne like sunlight on frosted glass. Warm undertones find a natural conversation with yellow gold or rose gold settings, where the metal and gem seem to lean into one another, creating a rich, honeyed glow that feels intimate and incandescent. On olive or medium complexions the very light yellow becomes a fresh, citrus note, lifting the skin as if a sunbeam has paused there, while on deeper tones the soft yellow provides a luminous, elegant contrast, a pale star set against velvety night. Halo settings of small diamonds will amplify its presence on any hand, and slender prong work will let this pear savor air and light, so that each movement catches a new facet of color and emotion.

There is also meaning carved into the pear shape itself, a teardrop of joy and remembrance that evokes both the promise of dawn and the hush of a private vow. In a solitaire setting it will speak plainly, intimate and pure, while a three stone design can crown it with companions that narrate past, present, and future. Bezel settings cradle the gem for everyday life, while open prongs let it breathe and sparkle with every turn. The heat treatment is a respected enhancement that stabilizes and refines the gem without diminishing its origin, and the eye clean clarity means the light inside remains unobstructed, a clear pool for memory and reflection. At The Natural Sapphire Company we delight in helping you choose the metal and setting that will let this 1.09 carat Ceylon yellow sapphire sing against your skin, whether you seek something quietly personal or a ring that will stop conversation. Hold the idea of it to your finger, imagine the pale glow rising to meet your skin, and know that this small, luminous stone is ready to be shaped into the next chapter of a story that you will wear every day.
